Orin left her; then Jim came, and left "four years seven months six days past"
texture · sequence ending 1 Apr YTSDB, recalled
- When: sequence UNDATED except its endpoint — JOI's death, 1 April YTSDB (2004) per the archive's dating ruling; her count "four years seven months six days past" (p. 225) lands day-exactly on a 1 April from 7 Nov but implies the wrong year-count (should be 5y7m6d under the ruling) — as printed
- What: Her remembered order of loss: first Orin left; then Jim approached her (the filmed-apology relationship), vanished, returned, and then left for good — dead. After his death she never again got a Boston cab in an impossible place ("her true heart's friend" the conjurer of cabs); surrendered and suicidal, she now walks.
